Re: Major telecoms sign deal to keep some phone services running during future outages

Having telephone service independent of whatever may befall the electrical
grid is nothing new. That's how we all started out in the 20th century.  It
is a fortunate accident of history that Alexander Graham Bell preceded
Thomas Alva Edison, otherwise it might not have turned out that way.
Imagine what it would have been like during, say, the 1965 Northeast U.S.
power blackout if telephones had stopped working.
